"How does a poem mean?" asked the poet John Ciardi. This workshop will focus on meaning in poems. How much should you, as a poet, prioritize understanding when drafting and revising, and how do you combine it with the overall experience of a poem? We'll look at some examples from classic and contemporary poetry, then write some lines individually, and discuss how they capture and free meaning.

Adam Robinson runs Publishing Genius, an award-winning small press, and works as a publishing consultant. He has taught publishing courses in the MFA program at University of Baltimore and his first book, Adam Robinson and Other Poems, was nominated for the Goodreads Poetry Award. He self-published his second book, Say Poem, in 2010. He is also the editor of Our Primary Focus, an e-book about small press culture as described in interviews with writers, book sellers and publishers.
